each other in lively style. Bond, though only
nineteen years old, was pretty tough customer,
and was getting the best OF Pearce, whereupOn the
latter, enraged at the idea OF being beaten by q
negro, stopped, and, picking up hammer, deaf
his opponent terrific blow on the head The
blood spattered In every direction. Before he
could strike again the negro ran out or the shop
and the other men took the hammer away from
Pearce At about this time the blacksmith came
into his shop and ordered the men out. They
walked to where the negro was standing trying to
staunch the dow OF blood, and Pearce declared that
he would have It out. One OF the party caught

latter exhausted from loss OF blood, had run only
about twenty yards when he fell on his face
Pearce threatened TO kill the man who held him II
he did not free his hold. The latter, frightened at
Pearce's manner, let 60. Pearce then ran to the

Mr. Forsberg testified that on the night CHARGED
about 10 O'Clock, Richard Evans Travere HeiSman.
Albert Riley, the defendant, and himself were In
Heurichs brewery drinking beer Witness noticed
that the defendant was very much excited, and
was walking up and down the room. Finally Mat
thews took OF his coat and threw It on the f1oor.
He had been drinking, but appeared TO be more
excited than drunk; They went out and witness
ing. to some one and witness waited awhile,
and Matthews came out and struck him
IN the chest, but witness did not know he was cut
witness did not think the defendant was going to

NO INTENT TO KILL, J." AND THE CASE DISMISSED.
The judge said he held that in this case there

Some time ago Chief Of Police Oliver, Of Athens,
Ga, went On visit to the State University and
arrested an obstreperous student This aroused
feeling against the officer and the townspeople.
Last Saturday night the Salvation Army opened
services In hall in lower Broad street, and the
students took charge Of the meeting. Afterward
the students formed column and set out on a
midnight spree, brushing aside policemen without
ceremony. They then retired to the campus,
where their r1otings grew so loud that the police
made an assault upon them, but were driven back.
"Let US get the guns" exclaimed one stalwart
student, and ct once the door OF the University
armory was prfed open and each youth secured
gun: They then formed in line and set out for
Cobbham. In which precinct the Lucy Cobb Insti-
tute Tor girls Is situated, with their long guns on
their shoulders, rending the air with their cries
and singing, swell hang old Gran on o sour apple

An informal meeting OF the cabinet was held
yesterday TO discuss plans for expediting the pas

don the attempt 10 elect a wholesale application
OF the cloture rule at flxed date. The refusal of

has compelled the ministers to adopt the plan OF
asking for cloture after bona nde amendments

Miss, May 10, says: The NeW Mississippian
published by the Martin Brothers in the same
building where the SuOrd and Shield (Gambrell's
paper Is published, comes out to-day with two
columns OF editorials on the tragedy The head
lines are fair index to the entire article. They
read as follows: 1.-The slaughter OF X. d. Gam
brel; Col Jones Hamilton, with four accessories,
hunt down the brave young editor OF the lSporti
night" The whole affair is then treated OF In
the strongest possible language, concluding as
follows:
sit is not improbable that soon another shot
will ring out in the night and another coroners
jury go into their solemn work, but II the men
who have recently done their awful deed think
that they can place their bloody hand over those
papers which have determined to speak out, and
muZzle and terrify them into the silence Of igno-
mfny, they have erred. The !Scord and Shield will
go on with Its warfare for truth, and over the
grave OF this hero. That paper will go out with
arrangements OF the guilty as terrible as before.
"There are three editors on this paper, and each
one is willing to lay down his life if il must be
rather than to falter in journalists duty and he
prevented from publicly advocating the princ1-
Piles he honestly cheriShes. And then some one
holder and Drawer than we viii take hold OF the
paper we have left and carry the struggle on and
on with all the bitter and awful determination or
tnytncible right warning against wrong"
